Abstract

This paper reports the first paper-based electrochemical impedance spectrometry (EIS) biosensor, integrating in-situ synthesized zinc oxide nanowires, for ultrasensitive, label-free immunoassays. Using rabbit-IgG in PBS, we demonstrate a limit of detection of 60 fg/mL, 100-fold better than those of previous paper-based biosensors. The ultrasensitive performance is attributed to: (i) the high surface-to-volume ratios and high sensitivity of zinc oxide nanowires; and (ii) the high specificity of EIS biosensing. The label-free EIS mechanism also renders simpler sensing operations.
